Conquest grows with what it feeds upon. So does everything else. THe appetite for conquest increases with conquest. That'll mo nnil it is illustrated in our recent Spanish -war history, Porto Rico.

But under divine Provi dence, we; may prolong the periods, and the end be post poned.

Jefferson Davis onco said, in etTect, that when the Southern Konfederac was established and its independance. assured that it would be necessary to make tho military a strong feature in the organization of the government. The wisdom of President Davis, suggestion is no less apparent now, when the Confederate Government has be'en a j failure, and the United States, Government, in tho overruling wisdom of Pro vidence, is more firmly estab lished than ever before Tho race antagonism in the k'.i. cfnn0 la o-rontr now bcfo neater than hvhen slavery existed in the I s vxxi. m -'---' a i VMtM.Ain fifna nnr rrpaier tl -t woui,i have been had tho Confederate Government been established. This nntntronism has. doubt- less, been fostered 'by unwise legislation in our national ad minifttraiinn ' but it IS alSO in- mm m w m m mrmr w - mm - j - - herentin the nature of the con ditions thatenvironus. Where thn AnHo.Sflion race is most z o dominant by numbers or by rlitim, nntrnl. antagonism j w a m w j ,p, c diminishes. Where the color- ed race is the controlling or considerable element, the an rfrrnicri is Tnnrr aniK'iront.and where it is led and controlled by an unscrupulous white ele- ment tho antagonism is most nrnnnnnrr-d an d hostilitv-most flacrrant. These facts can be proven by argument,inference, ad facts. In this enumeration of con ditions Eastern Carolina, un- fortunately, occupies the last i - . - ' category. It is politically domi nated by negroes and unscrup- uious white men. lience, we need military protection more ha nany other section. Hence, we are opposed to the removal from us of the military com- panics organ reany ior home protection, unless other military oompanies are substi - tutnrl fnr tli.'tn Thn militarv companies amonir us are our protection, and that protec tion should not be removed from us. Twice in recent years, a race conflicthas been imminent. Once Edenton would have run red with blood but for the Naval Reserves of E-City,and once L.
